We had a great night walk with Cesar at Greentique Wildlife Refuge. We were the only two people on this particular night, so we got a nice private tour.
Cesar was very knowledgeable about the animals in the area. We found several species of frogs, katydids, spiders, other insects, and the rescued caiman and crocodiles living there. I would recommend...

Our group of 9 8th graders and 3 adults stopped here after touring Manuel Antonio. It is a small place with few crowds which was nice. We all got to see many different butterflies in the vegetation of a net enclosed area. The guide showed us the life cycle of the butterfly.

I was getting ready to depart from Manuel Antonio was walking around and decided to take a guided tour of the butterflies and crocodiles...best thing I could have done before my departure. The guide was extremely knowledgable, explained everything well and answered all my questions. I was alone so it was a very personal and neat to see all these...

All the positive comments about Cesar are absolutely true. He is friendly, funny and extremely knowledgable. The night tour was so interesting. We saw a variety of frogs, snakes, spiders, a huge iguana, an opossum, millepede, and more. We did not walk more than 19 feet before he found something else for us to see. If you are in the...

What a fabulous experience. Cesar the tour guide was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every living creature in the park. He was amazing at finding even the tiniest of species and setting up a telescope to enlarge them for us. He was even so kind as to take pix on our phones through the telescope lens.
Both the reptile...

For a couple of years now we have visited the night tour, always with good result. Naturally, when returning with guests, we signed up for this tour, with a total group of 10, of which 6 children. Due to the size of our group, we requested a private tour.
Upon arrival the disappointment started when the guide appeared completely disinterested...

We had a fantastic experience! Our guide, Cesar, was very knowledgable, friendly, and great with our kids. In addition to the butterflies and reptiles, we saw a baby sloth and a howler monkey. The butterfly garden is a peaceful, relaxing sanctuary. A great outing for the whole family.

My family and I, two boys ages 3 and 5, went on the daytime reptile and butterfly tour, then returned for the night tour. Both times we had Cesar who I can't say enough great things about! He is extremely knowledgeable and worked with my five year old who got very scared to be out at night. He took him...

This place was a true find. The spa offered great massages and facials by expert therapists. Very beautiful and relaxing. Then we enjoyed some the best ceviche I've ever tasted. Delicious! The views were also beautiful.
